Security
Desjardins Venture Capital adheres to very strict and rigorous
security standards.
Access to dcrdesjardins.com is controlled by a
firewall, among other security measures. A firewall is a security
mechanism that filters attempts to access an Internet in order to
head off any unauthorized attempts or intrusions.
Despite these precautions, you must implement the personal
security measures recommended on this site in order to maintain
optimal protection when you surf the dcrdesjardins.com site or any other Internet site.
Personal security measures
Security icon
Be sure you always surf in a secure environment when transmitting
confidential data. When you don't see a security icon (closed
padlock) displayed on your PC or wireless device (if the latter
offers this functionality), or when you notice an open padlock, this
means the security of any Internet transaction or data transmission
cannot be guaranteed and could be intercepted by a third party.
e-mail
- The messages you send via e-mail or to the Contact Us section
of the Web site are not, generally speaking, secured during
transmission. It is therefore important not to include any
personal or confidential information in such messages.
- The e-mails you receive can be opened and read by others if
you fail to take necessary precautions. To avoid this, obtain a
customized e-mail address linked to a message inbox that can
only be accessed with a password or by you alone.
If you are part of a group sharing the same e-mail address (e.g.,
members of the same family), contact your e-mail services provider
to inquire about setting up individual inboxes with separate
passwords. A number of service providers offer this option.
